NUORGAMFar in the north, True Lapland above the tourism

Nuorgam is the northernmost village in the EU, an excellent place for adventuring mountain biking, kayaking, and snow kiting. ​It is located 500 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, near to the Arctic Ocean and the Norwegian border.

Nuorgam is a small village of 120 inhabitants. We love our easy going life here. Here's not much traffic. Because the tourism is limited in these areas, the nature here is untouchable.

Nuorgam- village of happy people

Experience the northern culture and get carried away with the easygoing pace of life.​The Sámi peoples have inhabited northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Russian Kola peninsula since prehistoric times. Still this day reindeer herding is one of their main livelihood and a way of life that still determines most of the Sámi lifestyle.

Only few people inhabit these lands that are among the world’s last wildernesses. The indigenous peoples of the north have learned to survive in its challenging weather conditions and to make their living out of its resilient wildlife. This is the very lifestyle we are adapting during our trips - making the most of the wilderness of the Finnish Lapland.​
